Copy / paste french characters into editor

[Jason Routledge]

Hi,

Just wondering if you have heard of any problems of copying french text into a forms field using the ckeditor and some (not all) of the french characters don't copy in. When I look at the code, it doesn't seem put in the uni-code T8 in... it's just blank. Unforturately I can't show you cause it's used on our internal system.

I'm using Windows XP services pack 3 and they browers is IE7. They page is .asp as well.

Here is some text that has french characters that doesn't paste into the editor.

Le 4 janvier 2011, dans la soirée, des membres du Groupe intégré de réduction de la criminalité, composé de membres du District 7 de la GRC (Carleton-York) et du service de police de Woodstock, ont exécuté un mandat de perquisition dans une résidence de la rue Main à Woodstock, au Nouveau-Brunswick. On a saisi plus de trois livres de marijuana, plusieurs centaines de dollars en argent et des objets associés aux drogues illicites. Un homme de 44 ans a été arrêté sur les lieux, puis libéré par la suite. On s’attend à porter des accusations.

In this example the "à" in (Main à Woodstook) was missing and the "ê" in (été arrêté) did not copy into the editor field box. All the other french characters pasted fine. Any suggestions where I should start?

I have tired to paste this text from word, notepad, browser in CKEditor for ASP.NET and normal CKEditor but no characters were lost.

Could it be that your internal application settings are/were causing this?
